Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“While I love the premise and it's simplicity, it's TOO simple and after about 2 hours there's not much left to do unless you want to unlock the best ship. The quests are repetitive and there are not many places to go, and all the places…”
“I'm confused by the good reviews for this overpriced game. The art and music are weak and the gameplay is fetch quests with thoughless clicks.”
